healthy eating – Online Personal Training & Athlete Coaching

Ger O Brien

Having worked with Roger for a number of years, I can confidently recommend his services. I started training with him a few years ago, and without his knowledge, guidance, and ability to adapt training to suit individual needs, I genuinely don’t think I would have completed a triathlon. His approach has made such an impact that I now have my son training with him as well. As a teenager, I want him to develop a strong foundation in both weight training and nutrition as he moves into adulthood, and Roger is the perfect person to guide him. Roger’s real superpower is his ability to make every person who walks through his door feel that anything is possible, regardless of age, shape, or fitness level.

I have worked with Roger for over 5 years. He is a great knowledgeable coach and understands how important strength and conditioning is for an endurance athlete. From working with Roger I not only became a UCD sports scholar but achieved my dream of becoming a professional cyclist. I would highly recommend his services to anyone from beginner to elite level.

Roger gives clear instructions and is a good motivator. His teaching techniques are second to none and his hard work has paid dividends with the athletes that he coaches.

My personal training with Roger has been life changing. I am 69 years old. For many years I had suffered debilitating issues with my back. Around my mid fifties I had a number of injuries to my lower back. Over the following years I had tried numerous treatments to relieve my pain and discomfort. Steroid injections, Traction, Chiropractor, Osteopath, Acupuncture and infrared lamps. I had joined a gym and had worked different strengthening programmes, which never really helped. The discomfort in my back was always a constant. My situation was actually getting worse. Looking back I think this was a result of being told by some professionals to rest and really mind my back. This resulted leaving me with a weak back, more prone to injury. Which indeed was happening quite often. I remember one occasion going on holiday and being told to just walk slowly and no swimming, just walk in the water. My life had become very restricted. I always loved being active. I had to give up hill walking, my favourite pastime. I dreaded going on an aircraft. Getting in and out of the car was a challenge. I loved gardening and DIY, but these activities were becoming very limited. Again because of the discomfort of sitting I had to give cycling. X-rays and scans showed slipped and bulged discs. I had been trying everything. It was really impacting my life and I was feeling miserable. I was considering surgery as a solution. ARTHRODESIS fusing the damaged vertebrae together or RHIZOTOMY a procedure to sever the nerve roots. I was willing to try anything. Than I heard about Roger from a friend. After taking my history and a detailed examination. I started my training programme. I felt confident with Roger from the very beginning. He really understood my fears around lifting weights. I had a huge fear of injuring my back while lifting. I would be fearful of any exercise involving my lower back. I dreaded Squats and Deadlifts. Roger guided me with and explained in detail every exercise and the importance of technique. This made a huge difference and I gradually got my confidence back. Now 6 years on I sometimes still get anxious with these exercises. Roger knows this and will always reassure me. I got to a point now that all he needs to say is "Tom your back is fine now" and we just have a laugh about it. He knows me better than I know myself, and what my body is capable of. I am amazed at Roger's level of knowledge and understanding of human anatomy. Which give me great confidence. I knew he was genuinely interested in my recovery. This allowed me to push my body in a safe way to gain strength. Roger is an encyclopedia of knowledge and he loves imparting this knowledge to his clients. My training is a full package: Strength training: Diet and meal planning to support a healthy body: A good stretching routine: Rest days for recovery: Good quality sleep. Over the months as I started to feel stronger my pain and discomfort was reducing. I was doing tasks that I hadn't done for years. In the last 2 years I have climbed the highest mountains in Ireland. The highest mountain in Spain. I went to the Alps and Machu Picchu in Peru last year. Currently I am training for my first half marathon in few weeks time. Who knows maybe a full marathon for my 70th birthday. I am planning a trip to Base Camp or Kilimanjaro next year. I owe this new lease of life, which I see as nothing short of a miracle to Roger Adams training programme. My back is now fully healed. I still have my training 3 days a week. I enjoy the routine and it has become a very important part of my life. I would recommend for anyone in pain don't suffer, contact Roger, you won't regret it.
